Welcome, I'm Gary Patterson with comments on transformational leadership leading by example, and a key example of this one that I like and most people do is Lou Gerstner at IBM. Now some people are gonna look back and say, International Business Machines doesn't have a problem, they're doing great. Well, they are now again, but they weren't until Lou Gerstner came in. They had lost track of what made them great. Gerstner was brought in, and he, there were a couple things he looked at. He said, I want to transform this organization, I don't want to just fire everybody and clean house. He went back and appealed to what made them great because people lose track of what makes them great, incentives change, people sort of slide into a declining part of a cycle if you don't watch out. The other we looked at is he came back and he said when we had this, I'm gonna lead by example. So combine all of those International Business Machine is a great example today of doing things right. The opportunity? Where can you better lead your people and improve your organization. Thank you for joining us.
